Rachel talks with her childhood friend Juliet about what it has meant to her to be attached to two places: Massachusetts, where she was born, and California, where she has lived for the past eight years. They discuss place identity and the different ways our relationships, rituals, and connections to those places shape who we are and how we understand ourselves and the world.
